Sixteenth Transformation [Fourth wall/video/action for Goldenrod]
[Envy hasn't been sleeping well lately, and he never really developed very good sleeping habits in the first place. So it's no surprise really that he's up and about in the middle of the night, hands in his pockets when did he start wearing pants so often anyway. And then, suddenly, there's the BRIGHT FLASH and Envy just freezes because even though it's been a while he remembers the three day memory lapse and insane dreams that happened the last time there was a flash like that. He glances around briefly, just in case there's three of the same woman pointing a gun at him again.]
[Wait. He feels different. Or no, rather, he feels like he's supposed to. Without really thinking about it, he brings one arm up in front of him, and with a small amount of concentration, a bright light travels up it and leaves a stone spike in its wake. He stares for a minute.]
[And then he grins, and transforms. Not into anybody in particular, just one of the people he and Miguel and Tulio have conned before, a particularly gullible man that he remembers laughing at. The sparks and light have barely faded before he's changing again and again and again, laughing with half-manic relief. He wears remembered faces from both Amestris and Johto, and the only ones he doesn't take are from the people he knows well.]
[Eventually, he settles back into his regular form, complete with his old outfit, still wearing a wide, cheshire grin even though he's stopped laughing.]
Heh, looks like Johto's done something right for once.
[Video sent a short time after this:]
[When the feed comes on, Envy still looks to be in an extremely good mood, judging by the smirk on his face. He's got his powers back, how can this turn out badly? Viewers might notice his dead-person-pale skin and weird purple cat eyes.]
So, I can't have been the only person to get my old powers back, can I?

[action]
You used alchemy without circles, so you must have seen the Gate.
[action]
[Another wave of fire coming your way! Though, for some reason, he thinks you'll move in the other direction, so it's a bit off.]
[action]
[As he speaks, he sees his opportunity and sprints for his bag, flames licking at his side but not doing enough damage to stop him at all. He grabs his bag by the strap as he keeps moving, grabbing a Pokeball at random and tossing it out. The beam of energy solidifies into a large Tyranitar, who looks around in confusion.]
Chimera! Attack that guy! Earthquake, Hyper Beam, I don't care what you use!
[Chimera just tilts his head and rumbles at him with some disapproval. Trainer he is not supposed to attack people you know that. :| Although while Envy is busy yelling at his Pokemon, he is notably standing still for easy targeting.]
Re: [action]
You've got some new tricks up your sleeve, eh? Well, don't expect me to waste my time with chimeras when I have bigger fish to fry!
[HAVE SOME MORE EXPLOSION.]
[action]
[Envy stands, still burnt and blistered from the heat, but it's better than being charred. He smirks.] This guy is hardly an ordinary chimera. Sandstorm!
[Sand starts to pour out of the holes in Chimera's armored body, obscuring the battlefield.]
[action]
[Roy shields his eyes from the sand. He approximates Envy's position based on where he last saw him, then once again creates an explosion.]
[action]
What the hell?! Where'd all this sand come from?
[action]
[This time, Roy snaps his fingers on both hands. Two explosions ensue.]
[action]
[Followed by heavy, stomping footsteps coming right for Roy. There's also just enough of an Earthquake attack going on for the ground to be shaking and pitching. Chimera is Not Happy with Roy trying to kill his trainer, and while he won't hurt the human, he will be trying to grab and pin him in an attempt to prevent any more fire.]
[action]
Ngh... Dammit! Let me up!
[action 1/2]
[And here comes a viciously smirking Envy, completely ready to take advantage of Roy being trapped to kill or at least severely hurt him.] Looks like you should have paid more attention to the small fry chimera, huh?
[action 2/2]
[action]
[action]
[Envy is now frustrated with not being able to get back at Roy for that fire. Stupid Pokemon trying to be moral compasses.]
